Billionaire Secret Wife Thirty Eight
What boyfriend? Mike wondered as he walked into the office. He could feel the ladies' gaze on him, but they didn’t dare to say a word. He walked up to Amelia, who sat up on her chair. The moment he stopped before her, she wrinkled her face into a forced smile, “How can I help you, Sir?” She screamed the ‘Sir’, and that made Mike wonder why she had to scream it.He had come to check on her and force her to dine with him, but after hearing about this boyfriend he had no idea on. He wanted to speak with her now. “Meet me in my office now?” He turned without waiting for her response.Amelia turned to look at the girls, and saw Christie whispering, “What’s wrong?”She shrugged. Florence was glaring at her, but she followed Mike behind. On the way, Mimi was coming back, and when she saw them, she started adjusting her dress. Mike was out of space that he didn’t respond to her greeting.She glared at Amelia behind, who sighed. She was surely having more enemies than friends. When they g

“You are joking, right?” Amelia asked with a frown.“I am not. It’s best you start getting dressed before it’s late.” He opened the door and ushered her outside. Amelia frowned but she left his room while glancing back to see if Mike was following her. She sighed in relief when she knew he was still in his office, telling herself he must be joking about following her on a date. What sort of husband does that?She closed her eyes knowing she wasn’t supposed to be going on a date too. What sort of wife does that? But she was left with little to no choice and had no idea what to do. So, she was going to make use of Christie’s advice. She might be able to get Florence off her back that way too. The thought of coming to work without having enemies put her mind at ease. Having Ava at home to terrorize her was more than enough.The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Amelia avoided going for lunch as she didn’t want others pointing fingers at her. Christie helped her get her lu

Mike had followed Amelia right from home, but she wasn’t observant as she kept staring at every, and anything she saw which brought a smile to his face. His wife wasn’t a hard woman to please due to the fact that there were so many things she hadn’t seen, and he wished to be the one to show her the world, but as it was, he couldn’t.He settled for following behind her and was surprised at the environment she was in. Who was she going on a date with that lived in such an environment? After a while, one of the secretaries in the office came to pick her up, and they went through an apartment.To keep himself busy while waiting for her; Mike went to the app and was thankful when he saw Phoenix's message. It had been a while since he last met her online as they had been dropping messages for each other offline. If there was someone he was so eager to meet, it was Phoenix, but she had no interest in meeting him just yet.He relaxed against the chair as the ladies were taking longer than he

When they returned to the table, the awkwardness had tripled, and Amelia could barely eat her food. She kept digging her spoon into her plate without bringing out any food and didn’t respond to any question Charles had asked her. This wasn’t the freedom she had bargained for. One minute she felt free, and now she had a husband breathing on her every second.Christie noticing that the blind date was already a disaster forced a smile, “I think we call it off today. We can meet some other time, right?” Her gaze was focused on Maroon, who was quick to agree with her, as he wanted to meet the lady again. He had always detested blind dates but there was something about Christie. She wasn’t as beautiful as her friend, but beauty had never been what interested him in a woman.“What do you say, Amelia? Should we meet some other time?” Charles asked, staring at her with hope in his eyes.A gaze at Mike told her that it would just end up as the same thing. “I don’t think so. It's best we d

This was the fifth time Ava was checking if there was going to be any sound from the car, but there was none. She couldn’t believe that they weren’t back after all these hours. What were they doing at work? She felt so bored, that she had put her phone aside and had also off the television. She sat in the living room hoping to catch the couple once they walked back inside.She had no idea when she fell asleep, but the bright light of the car woke her up from her sleep. She pretended to be asleep while opening her lower eyes. Amelia was the first to come inside in a different cloth than the one she had worn to the office that morning, while Mike followed behind her smiling. Amelia went to their room. Mike went to the refrigerator. The couple hadn’t spared her a glance, but she didn’t mind. She had never been alone with Mike since she came to the mansion, but finally, she was able to have him alone in the room. Ava stood up quietly, sneaking up behind him. She was about to w

She had expected the stares that would be directed to her to have reduced significantly but no; everyone stared at her shamelessly like the previous day and also pointed their fingers at her. Amelia sighed; it seems the world hardly forgets things quickly, and they believe what they want to believe in.“Welcome, Ames,” Christie was standing at the door with a broad smile, and before Amelia could enter the office, she was already dragging her off in the opposite direction. It didn’t help that Amelia was wearing a heeled shoe that she wasn’t used to yet, and it made it look like Christie was pulling her.“What’s going on? Why are you pulling me?” She asked, glancing back to see Florence and Mimi at the door staring at them. “Did I offend their royal majesties again?”But Christie ignored her and continued dragging her. She pushed her into the toilet and checked if there was anyone in the cabinet. Sure, no one was there but them; she closed the door behind them.“Spill.”Amelia glanced a

The whole building was silent as it usually was; with no building close by, there was no noise coming from outside. Mr. Afonso held onto his cane, as it was the only source of sound in the building, and his wife followed beside him slowly. The whole building was painted white and smelled like antiseptic. Only a few nurses moved in blue scrub and a receptionist who was seated on her chair. Her gaze moved to the sound, as it wasn't every day they had visitors or patients in their hospital. They only attend to patients whose identities needed to be kept secret, and not everyone knew the hospital existed. It wasn't on the map and not in the city. It had taken the Afonso a long journey to finally get there. Mrs. Afonso stopped in front of the receptionist, and she stood up immediately. As there weren't many patients in the hospital; she knew every patient and their guardian. "Follow me, ma." She said, and lead them to the room their patient reside in. The rooms in the hospital we

The hall was bigger than Amelia had expected and her eyes moved round to take it in the hall she was expected to arrange for the inauguration. She blinked rapidly. How was she supposed to decorate all this in just one day? The other secretaries stand aside looking at her. Christie couldn’t hide her amazement, “Wow. I wasn’t expecting it to be this big. How many people are they expecting?”Amelia frowned; she had no idea about that, but it seems a lot of people would be coming.“If it’s like most of the Afonso’s party then lots of people are coming. The media, reporters, and everyone that matters will be coming. The event has to be perfect.” Claudia saidAmelia's shoulder slumped, “And I am supposed to arrange for all this without prior experience. I think this is more than me.”Before any other person could respond, a voice they haven’t been expected said, “It’s not supposed to be on just you, Amelia.”They all turned to see Mike behind them. The ladies hadn’t been expecting hi

Billionaire Secret Wife Epilogue
Epilogue Amelia had slept all through the trip; being pregnant only makes her wants to sleep all the time. By the time she felt a little nudge by her side they were somewhere far from home. She could barely pinpoint exactly where Mike had taken them to, but the bright sun and the beach side felt strangely familiar. The air was different too. More natural and makes her lean more into him. She felt like she had seen this numerous time, but it also felt like she hadn’t seen it before. Mike assisted her from the car, and it all hit her like a wave. She had the picture of this in her room for a long time. She had sigh looking at him and thinking it there was heaven, this would be it. It seemed so out of reach then like she could never get here no matter how much she tried, but here she was with her husband. She jumped on Mike. “Are you serious?”He nodded, “Of course, I am serious. I bought this place for you.”Her heartbeat raced. It was a different thing visiting the place she had

The whole room was silent as everyone anticipated the next word out of the newscaster’s mouth. In front of the newscaster, in the left corner of the television was an old picture with five young men and women, with some children sitting on the floor in front of them in a chain. It was easy enough to tell the relationship of the children with the adult. They looked so good while the children looked like they could barely stand without falling. They looked malnourished. The headline was the most captivating; Child Trafficking exposed.They had exposed the names of everyone involved in the trafficking and declared them wanted. Apart from those in the pictures, the journalists were able to fish out more people backing them up behind the scenes. It was a bigger syndicate than Mike expected. It might be one of the reasons; that it was easier for Alfred to cover up the death of his parents.The picture made it easier for Mike’s man to find out a lot about Alfred and to get more vital infor

The news spread faster than Mike had expected, and his wife’s phone had continued to ring non-stop since the announcement. It was mostly from her foster family. He was certain there would be more calls from the company, but there was no finding out because he had forbidden them from reaching out to him. If they couldn’t handle those calls, they don’t deserve to be paid the amount they were. The families were spread out in the main mansion, all seated on the couch listening to the news. Every station talked about the sudden appearance of ‘Anne’ and the ownership of D&D, which suddenly brought back the hidden fraud cases. No one could get closer to the Afonso’s mansion, so they were perfectly at ease at home. Mike held Amelia’s phone, thinking she would be tempted to pick it up if the call was too much. If there were something Mike would thank the journalist for, it was their speed of linking up gossip. In a short time, they were able to figure out about Amelia’s identity and link her

Florence had displayed different emotions with her eyeballs within those few minutes, and at last, she settled for fake tears as she gripped the edge of his table, “I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t know much about him. He barely says important thing in front of me.”Mike narrowed his eyes at her, barely moved by her tears, “Seems you just decided your job isn’t precious to you. I’ll ask the HR to type your…”“No sir,” she screamed. Mike raised a brow at her. “I’m ready to talk.”And she did.She split every little thing she knew about Alfred; most she had gathered illegally, maybe hoping to threaten him when they had a misunderstanding. Anyway, it would work well for Mike without putting much effort into finding things about Alfred.After she had split her gust out, he dismissed her and called the H.R. to fire her. Someone who could be so greedy was of no benefit to the company; she could easily tell others their company secrets to gather favors for herself.Glad from all he had gathered f

As Mike checked his phone, he shared a look with Steve, and they both smiled. It was time to go home. Mike made a call to get a new car before they went home.Amelia couldn’t hide her anxiety after waking up and she didn’t see Mike by her side. He had just gotten hurt, and she knew he might be on one of his dangerous missions. If only he could tell her about it; he keeps trying to protect her.She stood beside the door and called him numerous times, but he wasn’t picking up, which only scared her more. Her mother had tried peeling her away from the door, but it was useless.When Amelia heard a car moving into the mansion, she ran out with Anne hot on her leg. She was super excited until she saw it was a different car, and her legs faltered on the way. The car stopped directly in front of the main mansion, and Sharon came out before Mike’s aunt.Guilt filled her as she watched his uncle come out of the car. Ever since she had gotten her mother out of the hospital, she hadn’t gone back

Mike woke earlier than the previous day, and although his hand hurt like crazy, he unbound the bandage and tried some hand exercises he had seen online last night.Amelia was sound asleep, which was the best. He knew she suspected things, which was one of the reasons he needed to act faster. Thankfully, her foster father had fallen into his trap after his short visit to his house, and the accident was somehow a blessing in disguise. To them, he was in a serious accident. They thought he was still unconscious. He had made sure that the hospital said that if anyone called to ask of a Michael Afonso apart from his wife.It made it easier for him to carry out his operations without them suspecting him. He dressed quietly and called Steve to join him.During their previous investigation, they found out that most of the children would be shipped out of the orphanage today because they already suspected Mike was up to something. Now, it was up to him to save the children, and recuperating

The sound of the ambulance and the continuous shouting matched Amelia’s heartbeat. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down, but Amelia pushed through every person and thing until she got to the hospital reception.The disadvantage of her speed was that she couldn’t say a word as she tried to catch her breath. Thankfully, Sharon was quick to ask the receptionist, “Michael Afonso.”The nurse nodded and started typing on her laptop; by then, Amelia had regained her breath, “Where’s my husband?” she screamed, gaining the attention of others in the hospital. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down when another nurse walked up to them. She spoke with Sharon for a while before leading them towards the V.I.P. section of the hospital.As soon as she saw Steve outside the ward, Amelia rushed towards the room, ignoring Steve at the door. Sharon stopped to talk with Steve,Mike lay on the bed with a bandaged arm, but he seemed alright.Amelia ran towards him and started touching ev

When Mike woke up the next morning, Amelia was fast asleep. He moved out of the bed as silently as he could, trying to avoid waking her up. She looked so lovely asleep, so he planted a kiss on her forehead. Her forehead wrinkled, and he almost beat himself for waking her up until she sighed, turned, and went back to sleep. Mike let out a breath of relief.He knew Amelia was already suspicious of whatever was happening, but he didn’t want her to wake up before he left. He did everything as silently as possible before exiting the room.The moment the door closed, Amelia opened her eyes and jumped out of the bed as quickly as she could with her baby bump. She picked the first dress she saw and wore it quickly. She waited to listen to Mike’s car sound before she ran to the nearest car to follow him.She didn’t think about anything as she jumped in the car and drove after him. Hiding from someone while following them was easier in a movie, but to her, it seemed Mike knew she was following

Amelia paced in the room with her phone in her hands. She kept trying to call Mike, but he wasn’t picking up her call. “I told you to sit down. I’m sure Mike’s fine. He might be driving.” Anne tried to reassure her.She shook her head, “You don’t get it, mum. Mike did all he could to prove he’s worthy to led company. Can you imagine how he might feel knowing he had been dismissed as the C.E.O.”If it weren’t for Anne, she would have been on the way to the company now, but her mother blocked the way, preventing her from going out, which resulted in her calling Mike multiple times. But Mike wasn’t picking up her call.“He must be very devastated right now, Mum. As his wife, I should be beside him in times like this. I should be where he is.”Anne closed the gap between them, stopping her from pacing around the room. “Fine, Amelia. If you want to see him that badly, I can drive you to the company.”For a second, she thought it was a great idea but suddenly shook her head. “No, mum. Hav
